DEODORIZER. 1,123,03$i Specification of Letters Patent.

' Application filed February 15, 1913. Serial No. 748,693. To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM G. T MANN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia,in the county, of Philadelph'ia and State .of vented certain new ments in Deodorizers, ing is a specification.

- The principal object of the present invention may be said to reside in the providing of afs'imple, eificient and comparatively inexpensivedeodorizer calculated with one Pennsylvania, have inand useful Improveof which the follow- 'fill1ng to. give off disinfecting fumes in an even and steady. manner for a given time, by capillary attraction.

Other and, further objects reside in the general details of construc- 'tion and arrangement of parts.

The-invention consists of the improveof the removable cap shown ments hereinafter described and finally claimed.

1 The nature, characteristic features and see c of the invention, 1111 erstood from the following description, taken'in connection with the accompanying drawing, forming part F g 9 device of the invention, Fig. 2, is a similar view partly sectioned and illustrating the same in application to a su porting structure, and Flg. 3, is a view 0 the under side in the foregoing figures.

Referring to the drawings, the deodorizer of the invention, enerally speaking comprises a two part civice of which one part constitutes a container 10, and the other a removable closure or cap 11. Inlpractice, the container 10, is made from glass, porcelain or other nonporous material and the cap 11, from a composition of plaster-of- 'Paris, powdered alum an d fine sand, althoughother po'rous material may be e ployed. This composition is preferable because once the cap 11, is saturated with the deodor'izing material employed the alum particles are dissolved thereby rendering the mgs,

will be more fully hereof and in which: I is a view in elevation of the diums as, screws .15, in order thatthe device may be supported upon a suitable structure 16. 0 he cap 11, is shown as being cylindrical in shape, is closedat its top and is cupped out upon its under side, which cuppedout portlon terminates in an up wardly extending central cylindrical openmg 17' For some deodorizing, materials employed it may be necessary to provide very minute air ports 21, in order to properly induce-capillary attraction, Fitted to the cupped out portion of the cap is an inverted generally cup-shaped centrally apertured metallic llning 18. This lining 18, is provided internally with a screw threaded pormg of the lining 18, and extends into the container 10-.-

In manufacture, the parts 11, 18, and'20, are assembled, while-the porous material is stlll plastic, so that when the latter sets or hardens the parts are united together.

In operation, suitable deodorizmg or disinfecting material is placed within the container 1.0, and the cap 11, screwed to place. The material within the container, by capillary attraction, finds its way to the porous cap, saturates the same and is given off therefrom in even and steady fumes. In this connection it is to be observed that the apertures 19, serve to assist in permitting fumes within the container finding their way to the atmosphere through the cap 11.

It is to benoted that by means of this construction and filling of the container will serve to insure the giving ofi of fumes for a given period of time in a steady and even manner in contradistinction to the giving ofi of very pungent odors at first with depreciable decrease thereof in a few hours time as is customary' with deodorizers now upon the market.

What I claim is:

1. A deodorizer comprising a non-porous liquid container, a porous cap therefor, said cap having a closed top and a cup ed out portion upon its under side, a meta lic lining for the cupped out portion and a wick secured to the cap centrally thereof and imarrangement of parts one- .mediately adjacent the cap top and extended through said lining into the container.

2. A deodorizer comprising a non-porous liquid container, a,- porous cap removably fitted thereto, said cap having a closed top I and a cupped out portion upon its under side, a perforated metallic lining for said cupped out portion and a Wick fitted to said cap centrally thereofand immediately adfjacentthe cap top and extended through said lining into the container.

3. A deodorizer comprising a liquid con-' tainer of non-porous material, having ascrew-threaded neck, .a porous closure having a screw threaded metallic lining for cooperating'with the screw threaded neck, said lining having a central .openingand a series of perforations therearound and a wick embedded within said closure centrally thereofand immediately adjacent the (310- sure top and extended through the central opening of the lining into the container.

4 In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.
